One: A Student Experience

This past Wednesday Waters Edge hosted One: A Student Experience. I shared earlier this week that I was excited and nervous about the event. I prayed that God would draw Students to Himself and I believe he answered my prayer. 240 Students showed up to One. The Students were challenge to pray one prayer to change their world. At the end of the night the vast majority of Students came to the front of the stage, knelt on their knees, and prayed that God would bless them so they could change the world for Him. It was taken from Jacob's wrestling match with God found in Genesis. Here are some pics from the night.

Chick-Fil-A nuggets, and pretzel bites.

singing "In my life be lifted high, in my world be lifted high, in our love be lifted high."

There was no music playing, almost everyone had left,
and I don't think they realized he took the pic.

Leaving a good comment = God's blessing on your children's children.

Leaving a bad comment = a curse that will cause all of your children to be born bald and naked.
